| The Forerunners were an ancient race of enlightened beings whose empire -- known as the ecumene -- encompassed three million fertile worlds in the Milky Way Galaxy approximately 100,000 years ago. The Forerunners were the creators and builders of many significant installations, including the Halo Array, the Ark, and the Shield Worlds, as well as numerous lesser artifacts later found on many worlds.

| |
| The term glassing, more formally known as plasma bombardment, is used to refer to the act by which a Covenant ship or ships bombard a planet from orbit by using heavy plasma weaponry. The process of glassing a planet begins when a fleet has achieved air and space superiority on an enemy-controlled world. The specifics of the glassing process vary depending on the strategic significance of the planet or the orders of the Fleet Master.

| Admiral Preston Jeremiah Cole (service number 03956-26127-PC) was a UNSC Naval officer during both the Insurrection and the Human-Covenant War. Cole is best known for being the commander of the majority of the UNSC Navy from 2525 until 2543 and for his role in creating the Cole Protocol, a central UNSC law of the Human-Covenant War. A military genius, he defeated the Covenant in every major battle he fought and his battle record was considered to be without equal, even more impressive than that of the SPARTAN-IIs.

| |
| The UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'', (hull classification symbol C-709), was a Halcyon-class light cruiser in the UNSC Navy. It was informally referred to as the ''Autumn'', and, in some cases, the ''Pillar''. Prior to the Fall of Reach the ''Pillar of Autumn'' was selected to support Operation: RED FLAG, a SPARTAN-II mission to capture Covenant leaders. Captain Jacob Keyes was placed in command. The operation was forestalled by the Covenant assault on Reach; the cruiser carried some of the few UNSC survivors and fled the system having lost most of its intended SPARTAN-II passengers.

Lasky (service number 77698-41073-TL) is a senior officer of the UNSC Navy who served throughout the Human-Covenant War and later in the postwar era, playing a key role in the conflicts with the Covenant remnants and Forerunner Prometheans. Since at least 2552, then-commander Lasky served as Captain Andrew Del Rio's executive officer aboard the UNSC Infinity until July 2557, when Del Rio was replaced as captain by Lasky just prior to the Promethean assault on Earth.

| |
| Between approximately 109,000 BCE and 100,000 BCE, a prehistoric civilization shared by various species and subspecies of human and related genera existed on Earth, then known as Erde-Tyrene. This civilization was a reduced remnant of humanity's previous interstellar empire, which was shattered by the Forerunners at the conclusion of the human-Forerunner wars. Erde-Tyrene itself was considered an insignificant and obscure vassal planet of the Forerunners' ecumene, with a Forerunner Miner presence on the nearby Mars, known as Edom at the time.

| |
| ''High Charity'', known as the "Holy City of the Covenant" or the "Prophets' Holy City", was the Covenant's mobile capital city and center of government. It was a massive space station, home to thousands of individuals from each of the Covenant's member species. As it was the Covenant's major center and capital, ''High Charity'' was enormously sacred to the Covenant. It was thought that true believers should visit it at least once in one's lifetime.

| |
| Rampancy is a terminal state of being for artificial intelligence constructs in which the AI behaves contrary to its programming-imposed constraints. Traditionally, this is linked with the AI developing delusions of godlike power and contempt for its mentally inferior makers. When rampancy occurs, there is no way to restore the AI to its previous state and the only alternative is to destroy it before it harms itself and others around it. In the case of human AIs, the condition is exclusive to the "smart" variety, occurring after the AI has been in operation for seven years and has gathered too much data in that time period.

| The M808 Main Battle Tank, commonly known as the Scorpion, is the United Nations Space Command's mainline armored mobile weapons platform. The Scorpion has remained in service for centuries due to its combination of affordability, simplicity, and versatility and its rugged, adaptable design, features that cannot be matched by any "superior" main battle tank design. A result of the tank's effectiveness and practicality, the M808 Scorpion has become the UNSC's template for all modern main battle tank designs.

| The Forerunner-Flood war was a pivotal galactic conflict that occurred between the Forerunners and the Flood parasite. It was started on G617 g1 around 97,745 BCE and lasted approximately three centuries. The Forerunners concluded the war in 97,445 BCE with the activation of the Halo Array, seven superweapons that purged the galaxy of all sentient life in order to stop the Flood. The conflict ended the Forerunners' eons-long rule in the galaxy; most of their empire having fallen to the Flood, and the few remaining members of the species going into exile.

| The Halo Array is a system of colossal ring-shaped superweapons. Circa 97,445 seven Halo rings were used by the Forerunners as a last resort when combating the parasitic Flood. All sentient beings in the galaxy were killed, robbing the Flood of hosts and starving it to death. In addition to serving as weapons of last resort, Halo installations are also research facilities dedicated to containing and studying many different kinds of life forms, including marine life, fauna, and land vertebrates.

| |
| Lieutenant SPARTAN-B312 was a SPARTAN-III who served as a member of NOBLE Team in 2552 under the call sign "Noble Six". Deemed nearly equal in ability to the famous MCPO John-117, B312 was deployed as a "lone wolf" assassin, performing black ops missions that the more publicized SPARTAN-IIs would never be seen doing. After years of counter-terrorism, B312 was exchanged to NOBLE Team just as humanity's most devastating loss, the Fall of Reach, began.

| |
| The Battle of Harvest was an engagement in the Human-Covenant War between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant. It was one of the first major human battles with the Covenant in space, and the return of Admiral Preston Cole to the UNSC Navy.
| |
|
| |
| Following the loss of the colony Harvest to the Covenant in 2525, the UNSC assembled a battle group to retake the planet on March 1, 2526. Led by Vice Admiral Preston Cole, UNSC Battle Group X-Ray engaged an enormous Covenant super-destroyer. Due to superior numbers and Cole's leadership, X-Ray was successful in defeating the Covenant but suffered heavy casualties in the process. At the cost of thirteen human ships, the alien starship was destroyed when its shields were overwhelmed with the largest show of firepower yet in humanity's history.
